Liminal 3 Adult ADHD Event Wellington

Liminal: Living Well with Adult ADHD

An evening of ideas, reflection, and practical tools for adults with ADHD.

This is about understanding how your ADHD actually works, your rhythms, your patterns, your experience; and finding small, realistic ways forward.

This isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about working with how you’re wired.

You’ll leave with:

• fresh insight into your own patterns

• practical, ADHD-friendly strategies that feel doable

• a simple, personal next step

• and connection with others in a relaxed, encouraging space

What we’ll explore

• ADHD: a brief history, the lived experience, the challenges… and some hope

• Emotional regulation: often one of the hardest (and most overlooked) parts

• Executive functioning: time blindness, planning, hyperfocus, and body doubling

• Dopamine: energy and motivation (or the lack of it)

• Tiny Habits® a simple, practical way to begin change

Who is this for?

This workshop is best suited to adults (16+) who already have some understanding of ADHD — whether diagnosed, self-identified, exploring or supporting someone in your whanau. However, anyone is welcome.
